a Torah study on the word Shaddai and the Divine attribute it describes, in which I challenge the hypermasculine projections of theology—why do we need the creative force of the universe to be a man?
Possibly because at the time it was written men believed that they were the creative impulse because they also believed, that the man planted a human seed into the woman who was just a garden or a farm, in many cases that woman was not really fully human as many still do today.
This is confirmed at least in biblical study, as I have not read the Torah, with sentences such as not spilling the seed on barren ground and the also possibly the forbidding of homosexuality.
To be honest I find it difficult to accept that these writings came from God dimple because, agsin via the Bible, the bring did not understand or convey the true description of human reproduction.
For me it comes down to man sees woman put a seed in the ground, sometime later a plant pops up. Man thinks I am the giver of life she is just the dirt.
